Love Is
Love is not a choice.
It is like falling asleep
Or floating gently
And landing in someone’s heart.
But love is also an action.
It is like learning to walk:
You start by crawling
And when you fall
You choose to get back up.
You cannot just fall out of love.
If you can
Then it was never really love
In the first place.
If real love ends it was a choice,
Not a coincidence.
Love can be hard
But that doesn’t mean
That it’s not real,
That it’s not genuine.
All it means is that you’re human.
Love can be hard
But that doesn’t mean
That it’s not worth it
That you should stop trying.
But just because you love them
Does not mean that they are worth it.
Love should not hurt
And if it always hurts
Then they will never deserve it.
But instead of fearing the fall
Know that you will get back up
With or without them
And try again
And again
And again.
